China Wok is the kind of place you'd miss if you weren't paying attention--and that would be a serious mistake. This unassuming, hole-in-the-wall spot delivers one of the most memorable dishes I've had in a long time: their three flavor sizzling rice soup. It arrives quietly, then comes to life the moment it hits the table--the crisped rice crackling and popping as it meets the rich, aromatic broth. It's not just a meal, it's an experience. The balance of flavors is unreal--savory, comforting, and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy. Every bite feels intentional, like it's been perfected over years rather than rushed out of a kitchen. You can taste the care in it, the kind that only comes from a true mom-and-pop operation that takes pride in what they serve. Places like China Wok are rare. No frills, no hype--just genuinely incredible food that stays with you long after you've left. If you know, you know. And if you don't... go fix that. read more

I have been here several times. I have never had beef chow fun anywhere. They did not have it as a lunch special. I asked to confirm and I was told she could do it. It was really good. The beef was tender and flavorful. The veggies in it were very good. Always nice to have the hot tea, especially when it is not an extra charge. They have an "A" rating posted read more

I ordered the moo shu vegetable dish. It was delicious, I couldn't stop eating it! The veggies were all so fresh and perfectly cooked. My boyfriend is a vegetarian and from India and we have a very hard time finding things we both enjoy eating. We both LOVED this dish. The place only had one customer, which makes me sad. I hope more people eat here and keep this business serving the community. Please go try! read more

Food was delicious I was feeling ill after my 12hour shift and wanted some wor wonton soup, before going home, so we ordered ahead and wait just 10mins. When I tell you I got home and the soup literally helped heal me from inside out!!! Delicious! The orange chicken and beef and broccoli were freshly made. Not stale or sitting under heating lamps for hours. I cannot wait to go back. I apologize no pictures too amazing to stop and take. You'll just have to experience it too. read more

I am absolutely happy to leave a review For another Santa Clarita small business who has been serving customers great Chinese food for almost 40 years! I first started eating there quite a bit in the early 1990s because I owned a clothing store in the same shopping center across from Home Depot on Soledad Canton Road. I happen to be driving down the road today, probably having not eaten there in 25 years. I am so glad I stopped in! The service was great and the food was delicious and it is just a nice place for lunch or dinner. As a small business owner myself, I look for other small businesses to support and am always glad I did! Try them out for sure. read more

When I first moved to the SCV in 2021 this was my go to American mom and pop style Chinese combination special spot. I always have a special place in my heart for these places because they give you a ton of Chinese for a budget friendly price. However over the years post inflation the quality has taken quite a bit of a nosedive. I generally don't order the combos that are sitting on the heat lamp I like to have a custom-made house special chow mein which had a good quantity of meat most the times. However most recently they have shrank the containers and cut down on the meat however up charging the same item that was $9 and now currently sits closer to $15 with shrinkflation. Unless I'm really hurting for some Chinese I haven't been back unfortunately. Quite a shame I think I almost got to a first name basis with some of the employees. read more

Lovely little place. The food is heavenly. The shrimp and seafood is especially delicious. Service is good. 5 stars all round.

Authentic Chinese food with the best and most sincere service of any restaurant in the SCV. The restaurant has been here more than 30 years with the same owners and they are always so welcoming. They have large tables to accommodate large parties but the ambiance is still quaint and nostalgic. The food is amazing and the variety of the menu is great. We love all of their shrimp dishes especially! They'll even make special items not on the menu by request. Love the entire experience every time! read more

The food is so good . Restaurant is Clean the service acceptable.Ambience good.I give it 5.

We've been getting takeout from this place now for several years. Last few times the Soup has been cold and food Lukewarm. This time the soup was cold, and food was again Lukewarm. No Fortuin cookies or Sause. The Forchion cookies are always not that good, so we throw them out, so that didn't matter. As I waited for my food I only notice one couple eating inside. Another Customer waiting to pickup food was complaining her food was also cold. I noticed the Restaurant doesn't appear very clean and old and worn out. The Carpet is dirty and has lots of stains. The booths have Duck Tape over various spots throughout the Restaurant due to tiers in the seats. Hate to see what the Kitchen looks like. I don't believe we will be picking up food from them again very soon. If anytime. read more

I've been going to China Wok since I was a kid. I've always loved everything the owner has made, especially her wonton soup. Don't be mistaken for its older ambiance, it's still a lovely restaurant especially if you get to know its few workers. I'm ashamed looking at the 1 star reviews, give this place a chance when finding the right items to enjoy. read more

Best Chinese food in SCV. The owners are so sweet and the food is always amazing. The won ton soup broth is so flavorful. I love moo goo gai pan with shrimp added. read more

I have been living in SCV over 11 years now, and only last week Friday that I found this restaurant. Today my family and I decided to order to-go. I love my mixed fried rice. My wife loved her chicken sizzling rice. My 3 year old loved her shrimp fried rice. We will be back soon and try other items on the menu. Can't believe we didn't know about this place in the past. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

If you're looking for a great Chinese restaurant, try China Wok in Santa Clarita. Ruby and her husband have been running this restaurant for 36 years. Her husband is the main cook and she manages the front with her dedicated employee, Mila. Ruby is a sweetheart and Mila keeps things moving with tending to tables along with handling to-go orders. The food is American style Chinese and very fresh. With excellent service and a quiet atmosphere, the restaurant has tasteful decor, formal dining and reasonable prices. They also have a beautiful hand embroidered framed tapestry hung on their wall to admire. Everything you try is excellent but our favorite dishes are -Moo Goo Gai Pan, Chop Suey, Szechuan Chicken and Egg Flower Soup. Go ahead and try China Wok - 20655 Soledad Canyon Road, Santa Clarita, CA 91351 read more

The owner is the main reason for this review. She remembers our order and family upon visiting. One of our go to items is the garlic shrimp and anything with noodles! read more

I've been going there for years for decades and they have the same staff that remember me my food is great

Red flag always empty no customers for a good reason. Went there over the weekend with my family we ordered chowmein, fried rice, shrimp dish, orange chicken and some beef broccoli. The food was not good at all, it taste like it was marinated in chemicals or something it had a weird taste. We looked at each other and we were like nooo definitely not eating this!! Something is wrong with this food. We asked for our check and the owner asked if we wanted to go boxes we said no, she never asked how everything tasted !! I think she got the picture.This restaurant looks very odd it's just there you never see customers come and go like a normal restaurant and they always have a closed sign on their door. Please be careful eating here. read more

We have been coming here for many years ! The owner is very nice and the menu is big! You have to come for the lunch menu which includes entry plus rice egg roll fried wonton and salad! Did I say a cup of wonton soup to! You get free tea and fried noodles to munch on! Check them out! read more

Fabulous orange chicken and egg fried rice. Been going here for years. Friendly owner and great Chinese food!

This place is unfortunately not as good as it used to be. I've come here a lot over the years and the food tends to be lacking quality the more I come back. They still have good deals on their food but overall still not worth the price. Some of the items you get lack flavor, the fried rice I got for the lunch special didn't even taste like fried rice (Panda's is better). This sucks because the people who own this place are so nice and I just think they aren't making enough to keep up. The decorations in this place is still top tier:however again they had no music, air conditioning, and even lights! Sad to see this place going. read more

I thought it was good. A hole in the wall with a family oriented atmosphere. Family owned. Nice woman who owns the place. Good customer service. Good prices. A little dark but overall that doesn't mean bad food. I don't know what Real Chinese food is but it was fresh and was packed with flavor. I'd probably say the only disappointment I had was the fried rice. It seemed like rice covered in soy sauce. No eggs, Peas, carrots etc... Would I go there again? Yes Would I recommend it? Yes I'd rather see small businesses succeed vs Panda Express. Whatever kind of food that's considered. Check it out. read more

Always consistent. Delicious and fresh food. Ruby, the owner is a sweet and friendly lady and we love going there!

We have been going to China Wok for over 30 years. We have tried different places and we always come back to China Wok and wonder why we always try new places nothing is better then the food here. The prices are fair and the service is great. read more

Let me begin by saying, I have ate at a lot of China Wok restaurants from SFV to LA and have never been disappointed; until TODAY. I ALWAYS order Honey Walnut Shrimp (FAVORITE) as it is a dish you just can't go wrong with, the flavor of Honey Walnut Shrimp is an original taste all across any China Wok you dine or order from; at least from my experience. I have attached a pic of the Honey Walnut Shrimp I was served today, the mayo was just tossed on top not even mixed. It was literally FRIED shrimp with mayo on top and pineapples....which I found very oddly as I have never seen pineapple on the Honey Walnut Shrimp. I attached a pic from the internet which you could search on google and see what it should look like. Most places serve it with broccoli not required but it gives it a good flavor when you have a shrimp and a broccoli. Good thing my coworker was able to help me eat some of it because $22 dollars would have gone to waste. Customer service was great though, disappointed food couldn't match the great customer service from the lady in the front. read more

Flavor Sizzling Rice Soup This dish was really amazing, the chicken was very flavorful in the presentation of the dish was quite entertaining. The kind hostess brought over the bowl of soup with the rice on the side. Once she placed the bowl in the middle of the table then she poured the rice over the hot soup and it sounded like rice Krispies cereal like I used to eat when I was a kid. The soup was very good, nice large chunks of chicken with vegetables and if you mix in the right amount of soy sauce in hot mustard you got yourself a winner. This place has been in Santa Clarita Valley for over 30 years, the owner who was gracious enough to share her story is super sweet, this establishment really is a corner stone of the Santa Clarita community so if you're in the mood for Chinese food please go support China wok. read more

Ordered takeout from here the other night. We ordered vegetable fried rice, walnut shrimp and hot & sour soup. Three stars based on quality of food only. It was your mediocre Chinese food with nothing special about the taste. I was quite disappointed in the hot & sour soup as it was not nearly sour enough and had too much cabbage & cilantro in it (and I hate cabbage!). I've never had hot & sour soup where I had that much vegetables to spoon out. The walnut shrimp was just okay. It tasted like plain battered shrimp that was just thrown in with mayo glaze. Nice that it came with a side of white rice though. The vegetable fried rice was nothing worth writing about. As a Chinese-American myself, I truly want to support my local AAPI businesses and will give this place another try. Hopefully, they'll be able to redeem themselves with other dishes. read more

August 12th, 2024. Just Can't believe the years have flown by so fast. I wrote my first China Wok Review over 7 years ago. We have been going there regularly since then. Ruby, the owner usually waits on us and Connie and Meela clear the tables and also wait on the customers. China Wok's food is top rate. They start off every meal serving their appetizer of chips and sauce. Unlimited chips. China Wok has clean white fresh tablecloths, beautiful wall decorations, very comfortable booths, tables for large gatherings, and excellent service. Ruby, Meela, and Connie are very attentive. No charge for the chips or the tea. That's a plus. One of our favorites is their War Wonton Soup--plenty of wontons and generous with the meat; and not too salty. My wife is salt sensitive and she has to carefully watch her salt intake. China Wok's Shrimp dishes are also excellent. One of our favorite entrees is their Moo Goo Gai Pan. Plenty of chicken. We usually order the War Wonton Soup and Moo Goo Gai Pan and split each order. We'll continue enjoying our food at China Wok Restaurant,m in the years to come--probably one of the top ten restaurants in Santa Clarita. read more

My fiancé and I are new to the area and we're eager to find a Chinese restaurant we could be regulars at. Needless to say, China Wok did not disappoint! We ordered the Family Meal for 2, which came with delicious Sizzling Rice Soup (one of their specialties), rice paper chicken, fried Shrimp, fried rice and 2 entrees! We got Kung Pao Chicken and Mu Shu Pork -- both fresh and delicious. We also go the chance to chat with Ruby, who owns the restaurant. She was incredibly kind and welcoming to my fiancé and I. We'd honestly come back just to hang out with her. I think we found our spot and I'm sure you will too at China Wok. read more

My go to for Santa Clarita area when I want good Chinese food. Family owned and operated and very consistent!!!!

Went here on Xmas eve for dinner with the relatives. Party of 16. The last time I ate here was about 20 years ago when I worked across the street. I remembered the food being really good back then. Last night was a different story. There was one lady seating people, taking payments and doing take outs. One lady was filling water glasses. One lady served food from the back. Not sure if there was more than one cook in the back? It took 30 minutes after we were seated before one of us went up to the desk to get a menu. After we ordered (maybe 15 minutes?), it took another 45 minutes before we finally started eating. A total of 90 minutes from the time we sat to the time we started eating. We saw one family walk out because of the long wait and no staff. The food was just so-so and the portions were small. You could tell everyone in the restaurant was frustrated waiting to order, their food, their check, etc., etc. I don't think i'll be visiting in the near future. Hope they get their act together. read more

Quite literally the worst Chinese food in SCV, maybe the world. Not sure if mgmt. has changed but this place deserves 0 stars. We had been here before a few years ago and it was good. Now don't waste your time. Panda Express way better. read more

Good fast food for Chinese in Santa Clarita. Clean and fast service. Will be back next time I'm feeling Chinese again.

Their food is so good and fresh! The owner is very nice too! The environment is quiet and good to have a conversation.

We have been enjoying China Wok for many years. This to me is the best traditional Chinese restaurant in all of Santa Clarita... by a mile.. Ruby keeps this place running perfectly, and the food is amazing. Her dining room is meticulous at all times. Menu highlights for me are the War Wanton Soup (an absolute must!), but the Sweet & Pungent Shrimp is also a highlight. I have not had a meal that l that I didn't love at China Wok. The fact that they have Tsing Tao Beer is a plus for me We also love the accompanying wanton crunchies with hoisin sauce/hot Chinese mustard dipping combo that come with every meal. This place is the real deal. read more
